EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the heart of history, specifically to Harwoods Factory in Pulborough during July 1942. The image showcases a group of dedicated individuals working tirelessly in this shell making factory, their commitment palpable even through the lens. Photographed by George Garland, this snapshot from the Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office serves as a poignant reminder of the immense efforts made during World War II. The scene depicts workers clad in practical overalls, surrounded by an array of machinery that fills every inch of available space. Their focused expressions reveal a sense of purpose and determination as they diligently manufacture shells for wartime use. A wooden crate nearby hints at the vital role played by logistics in ensuring these essential supplies reached their intended destinations. While details about the company remain undisclosed, it is evident that teamwork was paramount within these walls. Each individual's contribution formed part of a collective effort to support troops on the front lines. This photograph encapsulates not only the physical labor involved but also represents an enduring symbol of resilience and sacrifice during times of conflict. Preserved with care by West Sussex County Council, this historical artifact invites viewers to reflect upon those who worked behind-the-scenes during World War II – unsung heroes whose dedication helped shape our shared history.
